Campbell realized that we all go through multiple Hero Journeys throughout our lifetime. No matter how big or small, they always look like this:
1. We are living life in some place where we are comfortable-
2. We are called to action, often through something devastating but not necessarily so-
3. We go on a journey that is full of trials and tribulations, causing us to slay our "dragons" which I often consider our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions that hold us back in life-
4. We come around again full circle, back to our lives, bringing back with us something new that we can utilize and share with others.
When we go through the Hero's Journey, a part of us dies and we bring back with the us the Wisdom to create anew. The Hero's Journey catapults us into the next version of ourselves and often comes to us in the depths of despair. It is about finding our own path and finding our own bliss so that we can move into the greatest potential of who we are. The Hero's journey is about surrendering and claiming all that we are. It's about learning to claim and love each and every one of our "dragons" so that we can transcend our darkness. It is about ending the wars inside of us. It is about breaking the hard exterior that life has formed around us so that we can experience the magic, beauty, and wisdom that lies beneath the surface.
In learning to understand what the Hero's Journey is, I related to it instantly. I have been through many Journeys and each one has changed me profoundly. Each one has caused a death within me as well as the birth of something new that I then share with those around me. Through recognizing this pattern that exists within all of us, I was able to see life from a new perspective.
What I learned: Instead of seeing our hardships as things that deter us in life, I feel it is important for us to recognize the beauty of the journey- in essence, learn to Love the journey- and all that it can bring so that through the depths of darkness, we can always see the light of our efforts.
